Enverre Moment, Custom Plant Preservation

Enverre Moment is a collection of ways to preserve flowers from important life moments, such as weddings, funerals, births, adventures, ceremony. ‘Enverre’ is what I named the process I use to fuse flowers between two pieces of glass in a kiln. This collection turns carefully curated celebratory ‘moments’ into heirlooms.

Enverre panes can be framed in myriad ways and reflect a wide array of style— with photos or other keepsakes, in furniture, as an architectural aspect of your home. Below is a video of the kiln process as well as a selection of photos of previous enverre projects. Please use them as inspiration for your own design creativity. 

The process works with both dried and fresh flowers. If you have fresh flowers and you're not ready to make decisions about commissioning work, press the flowers between sheets of cardboard and tape or weight them. Then the plants will be ready when you are.

Budgets starting at $45 are welcome, I'm is happy to collaborate to make meaningful objects of all kinds. 

Projected commissions can be added to registries and I'm happy to ship.
